Since this is up late, you have until Tuesday at midnight to declare your goals.

Weekly Challenge #231: Write using your favorite movie and/or soundtrack as inspiration

NaNo Challenge (3 bonus points): Insert a new, random character who has the opposite personality as your protagonist.

Directions:
1. Post on the challenge thread, declaring the goals you have committed to. This must be done before midnight on Monday.
2. When you have finished your goals, post on the challenge thread again, stating what goals you have completed, how many times you have completed them, and whether any of them were combined.
3. At midnight on Saturday you are not allowed to report any more finished goals, and the challenge is over.


Rules:
1. You can repeat the weekly challenges, and get more points, but if you repeat your own personal goal, you will not get extra points.
2. The organizer has the right to veto any personal goal that seems too easy (i.e. writing a sentence).


Points:
You can earn points in these ways:
1. completing the weekly challenge
2. repeating the weekly challenge
3. completing your personal goal
4. combining your personal goal and the weekly challenge

I did the math, and if I do a Weekly challenge every day until the end of the year, I can just close the gap with Miss Elizabeth ;)

... OK, so that's probably not going to happen.

Personal Goal = maintain 2000+ words per day average (+14,000 words in 7 days).

Weekly Challenge accepted.
NaNo Challenge accepted.

You are hilarious! Just remember that there's still the chance that I may state a goal I don't have a chance to complete (happens too often), so that helps your odds. ;)

Weekly Challenge completed. (I actually listened to an audio drama sound track, but it's about the same.
NaNo Challenge: complete
Personal Goal failed. I'm only at about 23,000 words due to writing slower, but better on Friday and not factoring in other commitments including making a wedding card for a friend.

I still have 10 more hours in my Saturday, here in Florida ... I'll hold off on writing and loan you my hours if you want to keep working. :)

I just spent 7 hours on a Color Rendering for a Land Developer, County Commission Meeting and angry Homeowner's Association on Monday. My brain is fried.
